Hello, my name is Mike and I love plumbing! I have over a decade of experience under my belt. I fell in love with troubleshooting and meeting new people. And of course fixing their (plumbing) problems. I know that calling someone out for an emergency repair could be a stressful experience. I understand that and I try to make it as painless as possible. My prices are reasonable and you will never have to worry about sacrificing quality.

Proudly purifying water since 1954, we transform home and commercial water with our InstaSoft treatment system. Our expert technicians analyze your water quality and recommend the perfect solution, from water softeners and filters to reverse osmosis and UV disinfection systems. Enjoy cleaner, healthier water free of unwanted minerals, chemicals, and bacteria.

"Second time i had an issue with then over charging me. I had setup an appointment for salt delivery and to check the water filtration system. In between the scheduling and the appointment the water filter issue resolved itself, they insist on still charging me $150 for the service visit ex the salt delivery. Keep in mind one technician came out to put salt in the water softener and “check” water system. I never got a bill or adked to sign anything, they just charged the card on file. Random charge just shows up on my credit card. Borderline fraudulent activity here. Would be very careful using them if you are a new customer. Further there filters are custom so you need them to change the filter every 4-6 months which you can only use them and they charge near $500 for this. Be really careful with this company! Not to mention they don't tell you, your water pressure goes down by 40% when u install this stuff!"

I chose to be a plumber when I graduated from grammar school in 1982. I attended Passaic County Technical & Vocational H.S. & graduated at the top of my plumbing class in 1986. I worked for a plumbing contractor for five years. I passed the NJ State Plumbing License exam in 1992 and started my own business. I believe if you want something done right you do it yourself. I will come to your home clean & shaven. I will remove my shoes if you desire. I will take the time to do the job right & I will leave your home as I found it. For 15 years I did plumbing & heating in new custom homes, some as large as 28,000 square feet, I design and install entire plumbing & heating systems. I have been married for 25 years and I have three children. I know times are tough, so I offer you my years of experience for a fair price.

"I had hired Pat for a large job including gas piping, washer dryer relocation, new shower pan installation, and other plumbing work for a major inside work back in 2014. He did an excellent job overalla and made me 100% satisfied. He was always very responsive and helped me work around with other contractors. I recommend him to any potential customer. He has ver good work ethic."

201-286-9016! We service Northern New Jersey. We are problem solvers on all facets of plumbing and work with small renovations to new homes or light commercial new construction projects. We also do sewer and drain cleaning and replacement. We work on single family homes, condos, townhouses, apartment buildings, high rise buildings, commercial buildings, etc.

"We hired Angler to replace the valves controlling the water to outside our house and were pleased with the work, the price, and the staff. We rely on this water for the garden so it was important to get this fixed fast. Angler showed up the next day exactly when they said they would and quickly replaced the valves. They clearly explained what they did. They didn't try to sell us unnecessary work but did make suggestions for a few other things we might want to consider getting fixed in the future. The worker was very carefully in terms of COVID-19 and always had his mask on when entering our home. Definitely would recommend them."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.
